My name is Jack. I'm twenty-five. I'm also an expectant first-time father come June. I’m the sort that could spend all day doodling on shirts with Sharpes. Type that reads books and checks dictionary.com's word of the day. Kind that looks at design, breaks it down and is inspired by it within minutes. I’m at a very strange point in my life. It’s not one I wanted to be at. It’s not one that I ever thought I would be at. I just recently wrote the eulogy of my father and left a home I’ve been at for five years. I’m back at the one place I never wished to return... Baytown, Texas - home of Exxon. As for who I am? I don’t truly believe there is a label for me. I’ve checked all the hipster coffee-books but there just isn’t one. I collected comics when I was little. I loved movies as a teen. I’m pretty sound when it comes to pop culture. As long as my life has a soundtrack then I’m okay. I strive for the concerts. Music is my home. It’s the music that keeps me sane. Figured I'd do a little intro since I've got my feet wet here. I'm pretty much in awe of a lot of the work you guys do and I keep getting surprised every day. I'm glad to be among you guys.

Welcome Jack. Your work has been great and creative, keep it up. And remember, there are places a lot worse then Texas (although I can't think of any right now )

I don't know how true that is.

Welcome home

The Cowboys suck but at least you have this. . .

Well Hi JC
You sound like a genuine nice guy, your work here is good and like us all we are looking to improve our skills here and have a good laugh in the process.
So welcome m8 and hope to see some great work from you.

Nice intro...

Welcome to our sanity Jack.

Welcome home, Jack. That's how you'll find PSC. Home. No matter where you are or what Life throws at you, you'll have a place here. And it'll keep getting more and more comfortable, like a favorite old easy chair your spouse keeps wanting to toss by the side of the road. You might even learn to type and chop with one hand while you take a turn holding and feeding the baby with your other hand. (Invest in a silicone keyboard cover now.)

My condolences for the loss of your father. And congratulations for your expected child! It never rains but it pours, and I sympathize. I've lost both of my parents, and my first child is now 6 1/2 months old and cooing happily in my lap as I type. I could wax philosophic for pages and pages. But suffice it to say, once you are holding your new baby, and get that first early smile up at you --and you'll swear it is a smile and not just gas-- and get those impossibly tiny fingers to grasp the tip of your finger, you won't want to be anywhere else but that very spot at that very moment. Then you'll log on to PSC to tell us all about it. And several people will say "aww, that's nice" and you'll get another baby story or two, and finally someone will tell you to STFUAC (Shut...Up And Chop)

Yep. Welcome home.

I'll add a welcome also Jack, although my opinion of Texas is considerably higher than yours. But opinions are like . . . er . . . . opinions, everybody's got one.

I have enjoyed your chops ans certainly like your attitude.

Welcome. You seem a great addition to the site.

Thank you kindly.

Really dig your 'Kitchen stuff' piece.

I will try to live up to that compliment.

Your 'Castaway's Hope' could have easily been a poster.

Thank you so much. So far the work here has been good therapy.

There needs to be a Cheshire cat peaking out somewhere.

I'm certainly doing some mad brainstorming for the competitions coming up.
